Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Veratrine is a mixture of alkaloids, primarily veratridine and cevadine, extracted from the seeds of Schoenocaulon officinale (sabadilla) and other Veratrum species. It acts as a neurotoxin by persistently activating voltage-gated sodium channels, leading to prolonged depolarization and excessive nerve excitation. Veratrine has been used historically as an insecticide and in research to study ion channel pharmacology.
